The GCF offers a range of services from basic breeding to mouse manipulations such as injections, gavage and sample collection. We are also able to create unique transgenic mouse lines in a germ-free condition (rederivation). Our facility-dedicated staff is well versed in gnotobiotic techniques. We provide the flexibility to allow investigators to be trained in gnotobiotic techniques, or to have our highly trained staff perform studies. We offer our services to HMS researchers, as well as to the broader academic community.
